Flow Cytometry & Microscopy

 

Flow cytometry uses the principles of light scattering , light excitation, and emission of fluorochrome molecules to generate specific multi-parameter data from particles and cells in the size range of 0.5um to 40um diameter. Cells are hydro-dynamically focused before intercepting an optimally focused light source. Lasers are most often used as a light source in flow cytometry. One unique feature of flow cytometry is that it measures fluorescence per cell or particle. This contrasts with spectrophotometry  in which the percent absorption and transmission of specific wavelenths of light is measured for a bulk volume of sample.
 
Flow cytometry analysis of a single cell suspension yields multiparameter data corresponding to Forward Light Scatter (FLS), 90° Light Scatter (90LS),  and FL1-FL4. This information allows researchers to identify and characterize various subpopulations of cells. The process of  separating cells using flow cytometry multiparameter data, is referred to as sorting.
